"This collection of essays is valuable not only for the excellence of the individual pieces but also as the critical itinerary of an eminent and influential Hispanist. Because Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria has been at the center of critical debates in Hispanism over the last two decades, his evolution as a critic also illuminates changes in the discipline from the sixties to the present. This is a major collection of essays by one of the leading Hispanists in the world today."--Gustavo Perez Firmat, Duke University

As a collection of by now classic essays very much engaged with the present moment...CelestinaOs Brood defies categorization.O --Kathleen Ross, Hispanic Review
